"What the hell was in your head when you went" yells Carl
"My brother!" I shout
"He's not worth it!" Yells Carl
"He's my brother you bitch!" I shout as I feel tears.

"What's wrong?" Asks Daryl
"Get Carl out and come back" I say
Daryl nods and pushes Carl out.

He comes back a few more seconds later.

"Daryl, sit" I say
"Okay, why are you crying?" Asks Daryl
"It's Merle, I went to find him." I say
"And.." says Daryl
"He's dead" I say
Daryl stares at me and I notice him start to cry slightly.
"Like Rick said, he went to go hand Michonne over but he left her after a while and he said he couldn't come back and that he had things to take care off." I say

I feel tears start to roll down my cheeks and my brother brings me into a hug.

"I wish I apologized for being a Dick. I somewhat feel like its my fault." I whisper
Daryl pulls away and looks me on the eyes.
"Merle loved you and he understood" he says
I nod as Daryl kisses my forehead and gets up.

"Oh and I almost forgot. We need to pack. We're planning on chasing of the governor" says Daryl
"I want to help" I say
Daryl shakes his head and I just nod.

I just stare at my brother as he walks out.

Few minutes later...

I grab my stuff and shove everything I have in a duffel.

"Hailey I'm-" Carl starts
I don't let him finish his sentence because I grab everything and walk out.

I haven't really spoken to anyone since Merle and I only accept Daryl in my bubble.

"How you feeling little sister?" Asks Daryl
I shrug
"Come on, where's that smile?" Says my brother
"It died when merle did" I say as I walk past my brother as towards Beth.

I put the duffel bag in the back and fake a smile at Beth.

"I know it's hard" says Beth
"Sure you do" I say sarcastically
"Look, I lost my boyfriend, Patricia and Odis" says Beth
"I know. I remember" I say as I walk towards the wall away from everyone.

I look at the satchel Glenn and Maggie gave me.

Flashback

"We're sorry about Merle" they say
I shrug
"Here, we wanted to give you this" says Glenn
"It was for your birthday" says Maggie

I came to my senses that merle died on my birthday.

I sniff and open the satchel.

I see a picture of my brothers and me.
I then see a Camera and films.
I also see special things for me and Carl.
Then I see a necklace and note.

From your best brothers In the world. Love and care to you.
                               -Merle & Daryl

I look deeper inside and found Merles special knife inside.

"Merle gave it to me. He told me about Michonne and I promised secrecy to it" says Glenn

I looked at the engraving on the side.
 

For the best sister. Merle

"Thanks" I say to them as I smile

End of flashback

I stared at the engraving all day.

"Hey" says Carl
I glare at him.
"Please I'm sorry" he says
I roll my eyes and start to walk away but he grabs my wrist.
"Carl let go!" I shout as I try to yank away my arm
"Please, I'm sorry" he says
I finally yank my hand away as I walk away and towards Beth and Hershel.

I go into the passanger side and sit down as I pull out the gift Carl gave me.

A ring

I put it back in my bag and pull out my diary.

I know it's weird and everything but I want to remember everything about everyday.

I start to write in it as we start the car.

I pull out a cigarette and lower the window as I light it.

I puff it out as I look out the window and towards the woods we're going in.
